C/A No.: 7:08-2840-HFF MOTION AND CONSENT ORDER GRANTING EXTENSION OF TIME TO RESPOND TO COMPLAINT

v. LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA, Defendant.

This matter is before the Court upon the Motion of Defendant pursuant to Local Civil Rule 6.01, by and with Plaintiff's consent, for an Order extending the deadline by which Defendant must answer, move or otherwise respond to Plaintiff's Complaint, up to and including October 1, 2008. The current deadline by which Defendant must respond to the Complaint is September 17, 2008. One twenty-eight day extension was previously granted by the Court. Defendant has requested an additional fourteen days to respond because the parties are attempting to resolve the case and need this time to explore the possibility of settlement. The parties are negotiating in good faith, but anticipate that additional time beyond the September 17, 2008 deadline may be necessary. It is not anticipated that this extension would affect other deadlines. NOW, THEREFORE, for good cause shown, it is hereby ORDERED, ADJUDGED and DECREED that the deadline by which Defendant must answer, move or otherwise respond to Plaintiff's Complaint shall be up to and including October 1, 2008. AND IT IS SO ORDERED. s/Henry F. Floyd The Honorable Henry F. Floyd United States District Judge
